Explanation: Now this was a view with a thrill. From Mount Tschirgant in the Alps, you can see not only nearby towns and distant Tyrolean peaks, but also, weather permitting, stars, nebulas, and the band of the Milky Way Galaxy. What made the arduous climb worthwhile this night, though, was another peak — the peak of the 2018 PerseidsMeteorShower. As hoped, dispersing clouds allowed a picturesque sky-gazing session that included many faint meteors, all while a carefully positioned camera took a series of exposures. Suddenly, a thrilling meteor — bright and colorful — slashed down right next the nearly vertical band of the Milky Way. As luck would have it, the camera caught it too. Therefore, a new image in the series was quickly taken with one of the sky-gazers posing on the nearby peak. Later, all of the images were digitally combined.Tomorrow’s picture: heart & soul

Cloudy with a chance of light snow, a mix of sun and cloud this afternoon. Wind up to 15 km/h. High -11C. Wind chill minus 21 in the morning and minus 16 in the afternoon.

Explanation: On January 6 the New Moon rose in silhouette with the Sun seen from northeastern Asia. Near maximum, the dramatic partial solar eclipse is captured in this telephoto view through hazy skies. In the foreground, the hill top Wanchun pavilion overlooking central Beijing’s popular Forbidden City hosts eclipse-watching early morning risers. This was the first of five, three solar and two lunar, eclipses for 2019. Next up is a total lunar eclipse during this month’s Full Perigee Moon. At night on January 21, that celestial shadow play will be visible from the hemisphere of planet Earth that includes the Americas, Europe, and western Africa.

Flurries until the evening today 4-8CM in total, a high of -13C with moderate/high winds. Currently we have scattered flurries, a temperature of -16C, our winds are 14 km/h E and will increase to 15-30 km/h throughout the day.

TRAVEL IS NOT RECOMMENDED AT THIS TIME ON OUR NORTHERN HIGHWAYS UNTIL THE PLOWS GET OUR AND START WORKING. HIGHWAY DO IMPROVE FURTHER SOUTH. If you must travel please do it with caution and plan ahead.

There are No weather warnings BUT THERE IS A MARINE SNOWFALL WARNING:

Explanation: The plane of our Milky Way Galaxy runs through this complex and beautiful skyscape. Seen toward colorful stars near the northwestern edge of the constellation Vela (the Sails), the 16 degree wide, 200 frame mosaic is centered on the glowing filaments of the Vela Supernova Remnant, the expanding debris cloud from the death explosion of a massive star. Light from the supernova explosion that created the Vela remnant reached Earth about 11,000 years ago. In addition to the shocked filaments of glowing gas, the cosmic catastrophe also left behind an incredibly dense, rotating stellar core, the Vela Pulsar. Some 800 light-years distant, the Vela remnant is likely embedded in a larger and older supernova remnant, the Gum Nebula. Objects identified in this broad mosaic include emission and reflection nebulae, star clusters, and the remarkable Pencil Nebula.Tomorrow’s picture: New Moon rise

Explanation: Named for a forgotten constellation, the Quadrantid Meteor Shower is an annual event for planet Earth’s northern hemisphere skygazers It usually peaks briefly in the cold, early morning hours of January 4. The shower’s radiant on the sky lies within the old, astronomically obsolete constellation Quadrans Muralis. That position is situated near the boundaries of the modern constellations Hercules, Bootes, and Draco. About 30 Quadrantid meteors can be counted in this skyscape composed of digital frames recorded in dark and moonless skies between 2:30am and local dawn. The shower’s radiant is rising just to the right of the Canary Island of Tenerife’s Teide volcano, and just below the familiar stars of the Big Dipper on the northern sky. A likely source of the dust stream that produces Quadrantid meteors was identified in 2003 as an asteroid. Look carefully and you can also spot a small, telltale greenish coma above the volcanic peak and near the top of the frame. That’s the 2018 Christmas visitor to planet Earth’s skies, Comet Wirtanen.Tomorrow’s picture: southern sails

Periods of light snow this morning then cloudy. Wind northwest 30 km/h gusting to 55 high -9C. Wind chill -26C in the morning and -19C in the afternoon. Currently we have clouds, light snow, a temperature of -14C feels like -26C, our winds are 40 km/h from the WNW gusting to 50 km/h.

Our highways in and around our area are MOSTLY SNOW PACKED, COVERED AND SLIPPERY. CONDITIONS IMPROVE A BIT AS YOU TRAVEL FURTHER SOUTH. Please travel with caution and plan ahead when traveling on our Northern Highways.

There is NO weather warnings for our area BUT THERE IS A MARINE WIND WARNING FOR THE LAKE TODAY:
